Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need an unweighted GPA?

Some scholarship applications, NCAA athletic eligibility, and individual colleges ask for unweighted only.

Why doesn't my school provide unweighted on the transcript?

Some districts only print the weighted GPA. Ask your guidance counselor — they can usually provide an unweighted recalculation.

Are colleges aware of weighting differences?

Yes. They expect that weighting varies by school and use a profile sheet from each school to interpret GPAs in context.

Should I report weighted or unweighted on Common App?

Both. Common App has separate fields. Always be honest about which scale your school reports.
